Koa’s doing wonderful – you say in a crowded area with the sound of fireworks? In CCI-world we call those dogs “bomb-proof.” They process events like that with a whatever attitude and can keep focus. I didn’t take Yaxley out to the fireworks yesterday, though. He doesn’t react to thunderstorms, but I’m not sure that he has the confidence to to handle a Fourth of July event.
